Nowadays, whenever things are not looking good, I figure out the best way to make things appear better.

Avoidance.

It might not make things go any better in the future but it will definitely make things more peaceful in the present. In the past, I used to tackle the problem head on but I found out that this approach is wrong in a relationship(academically wise, it is better to do otherwise). What is the use for finding a solution for a problem which keep recurring? The problem could very likely can only be settled by tolerance and compromises. In my opinion, avoidance could be a form a tolerance.

What the use of having good academic results when my family sucks? Most likely they will affect other's opinion on me in a negative way.

What the use of having good academic results again if friends are not there for me? In my list of contacts, I can hardly find anyone who will go with me for a drink if I were to approach them.

What the use of being in such a long relationship when the days of anger are more than the days of love?

So many questions on what the uses that I really have the urge to go back to my old days... Carefree, relax and withdrawn. At least everything is much more peaceful then.
